History

RBK is short for Ronin BlackKnight a character he created for a pro-wrestling roleplaying board, (also known as an E-Fed.) Both the terms black knight and ronin refer to a dark, free agent type of warrior, while the abbreviation RBK was a take-off of "HBK" Shawn Michaels. RBK has used this character name in one form or another throughout his gaming history.

It was one of his friends on the rolplaying board who introduced him to internet radio, a station based around the game Second Life, hence becoming DJRBK. RBK spent a few months there before he moved on to another station based around the game City of Heroes. He stayed there until the station folded due to an increase in the royalty structure, (for details on this go to savenetradio.org, a group that RBK still supports)

RBK came to the Kingdom of Loathing in August 2008, shortly after he stopped being able to afford World of Warcraft, and needed a free-to-play game to feed the beast of his MMOG addiction. When he discovered Radio KoL, he immediately wanted to get back onto the broadcasting bandwagon. This was intensified after having to deal with a family emergency involving his father, when the /radio listeners were particularly helpful in helping RBK cope with it. After three months and two hiring opportunities, RBK is finally living the dream again.

Bump Contest

RBK announced on his December 5th 2008 show that he will be holding a bump contest.

Listeners will record a short sound clip, (5-15 seconds preferable, no more that 30 seconds,) that is somehow related to RBK's show. RBK is purposefully leaving this very vague, encouraging the listener to be as creative as possible. Even if he ends up regretting it. Listeners might however want to at least include some variation of "You're listening to RBK, on Radio KoL"

Submit your bumps in MP3 format. Have the track title be "rkol - Bump title" and the artist be your player name. You can use Windows Sound Recorder or another audio program such as Audacity.

RBK will select the best of the submitted entries to air on his show on Friday December 19, 2008, (two days after his birthday.) RBK will air the finalists on his show, and the audience will determine the overall winner.

The Grand Prize will be 1 Mr Accessory, personally purchased by RBK himself to support the Kingdom of Loathing. All finalists selected by RBK will receive a Radio Button Candy.

Listeners may enter as many bumps as they like, though each listener may receive only 1 RBC, no matter how many of their bumps are chosen as finalists.

Deadline for entries is December 19, 2008, at 5PM EST, (two hours prior to his show, to determine finalists)

Other contests

More contests will be deployed soon The more meat and/or items I get, the sooner I will come up with stuff.
